8 Telephone use
Your hearing aid allows you to use your telephone as you normally do. Finding the optimal position for
holding a telephone may require practice.
The following suggestions may be helpful:
1. Dependent on your fitting and hearing status, either hold the telephone up to your ear canal or
hold it close to the hearing aid microphones as illustrated.
2. If whistling occurs, try holding the telephone in the same position for a few seconds as the hear-
ing aid may be able to cancel the whistling.
3. Holding the telephone slightly away from the ear can also stop any whistling.
